CROWN POINT — Crown Point has hired a sole assessor. Richard Maxwell of Syracusebased Maxwell Appraisal Service was appointed by the town board
during a special meeting Nov. 30. He’ll assume his duties Jan. 1. The vote to hire Maxwell was 3-1 with Supervisor Bethany Kosmider, trustee Bob Patnode and trustee Yvonne DuShane in favor. Trustee Tom Walters opposed the appointment, while trustee Charles Mazurowski left the meeting early and did not vote.
Maxwell was one of two applicants for the position. The other was from Ticonderoga. “We wanted a person who doesn’t know anyone in Crown Point,” Kosmider said. “We feel that’s the most fair way to go. “We looked at all the areas of expertise and their qualifications,” she added. “They were both very good

Tiny Tim Wish Program ready for Christmas By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — The shopping is done. The presents have been wrapped. This holiday season the Tiny Tim Christmas Wish Program, which provides Christmas gifts to needy children in the area, will service 140 children from 52 families. “It’s not the most we’ve ever had, but it's right up there,” Nancy Quesnel, Tiny Tim director, said of the number of children. “We normally have about 125 children we shop for.” Tiny Tim gifts will be distributed Saturday, Dec. 17, 8 a.m. to noon at the Masonic Lodge on Montcalm Street in Ticonderoga. People with questions can call 585-7017 for information. The Tiny Tim Christmas Wish Program serves needy children of the Ticonderoga Central School District, including Putnam and St. Mary’s schools. Children ages 1 to 16 are eligible. The confidential program decides who gets holiday help using the school’s free and reduced lunch income guidelines. Parents must complete applications. That application includes questions about the children in the homes, such as clothing sizes and gender. Quesnel stressed the program is entirely confidential. After applications are verified, names are removed and families are assigned numbers, she said. People who purchase gifts buy for a specific number, not knowing who the child is.
This year the Tiny Tim program met all its goals. “It’s just amazing,” Quesnel said. “The number of people who help us, financially and otherwise, is heart warming.” In fact, the Tiny Tim Christmas Wish Program even got an early present of its own Dec. 7. That’s when Lowe’s presented the charity with a $3,000 donation that will be used in 2012. “That’s about half our budget for the year,” Quesnel said of the donation. “We really appreciate it.” Anthony Clemons of Lowe’s said his company is pleased to help. “We heard about the Tiny Tim program and wanted to help out,” Clemons said. “I’m glad we can.” The Tiny Tim Christmas Wish Program is about much more than presents, Quesnel said. “We all play a part in the lives of kids,” she said. “We’re all responsible for these children. They say it takes a village to raise a child. It’s important that we show them that we care.” The Tiny Tim program started in 1980 when a group of Ticonderoga Central School teachers realized the need. The program grew to the point the teachers could no longer handle the demand. There have been a lot of changes during the years. Tiny Tim no longer accepts or distributes used items and gifts are no longer wrapped. And, Tiny Tim has grown. It started out giving away winter coats. Now each child gets winter boots, pajamas, socks, underwear, a jacket, ski pants, clothing and toys. Tiny Tim will not purchase any electronics such as iPods, cell phones, computers or game systems.
Officials seek return of water surveys Information key to grant funding By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA — Ticonderoga residents may soon hear a knock at their door, but it won’t be a holiday caroler. Town officials are beginning a door-to-door canvas of the community’s water districts seeking the return of income surveys that may hold the key to grant funding for a comprehensive drinking water project. The confidential income surveys were sent to water customers in October. The information is needed to seek grant money for a $13.8 million water project. To date about 50 percent of the surveys have been returned. To be eligible for the grant funding, 65 percent of the surveys must be completed. “I know some people don’t like providing this information,” Supervisor Deb Malaney said, “but it’s entirely confidential. The surveys are numbered, there are no names, and they go directly to the IDA (Essex County Industrial Development Agency) in Elizabethtown. No one here will see them.” The surveys are crucial if Ticonderoga is to qualify for grant funding, trustee Wayne Taylor said. “We’re pleading with people to please participate,” Taylor said. “This is very important.” Sue Huestis, Ti water and sewer clerk, said people can still return the survey. If they have misplaced the survey or if they have questions, people can call Huestis at 585-6265 ext. 10. “We’ll be knocking on doors,” Malaney said of efforts to get survey responses. “It’s all about getting good, quality drinking water for the community. It makes a lot more sense to try and qualify for a grant than it does to add the cost to the taxpayers’ backs.” Facing a state mandate, the town of Ticonderoga is about to begin a comprehensive water system upgrade. Town officials hope to replace the existing water system, which draws water from Lake George and Gooseneck Pond, with a series of wells. The proposed groundwater project is estimated to cost up to $13.8 million. That’s actually a bargain. The state Department of Health

The state has also ordered repairs to the Lake All harvesting supervised by foresters. George water system that could cost another $12-24 million. Ticonderoga has been declared a hardship case by the Advanced payment available. state, which makes it eligible for a no-interest loan to cover Timber Harvesting • Land Clearing. the project. That’s good news, but local officials are hoping for a better deal with the help of residents. In 2009 the state Department of Health ordered Ti to re38428 place or cover the Gooseneck reservoir, which was created in 1931. The town developed a plan to replace the reservoir with tanks, but a recent inspection discovered problems with the Gooseneck dam and with transmission lines, Taylor explained. Gooseneck was designed to serve the entire town, but over time demand exceeded Gooseneck’s capacity. In 1965 a Lake George water supply was developed for emergency use. Eventually Lake George water became necessary to meet daily demand. During the most recent inspection the state also found problems at the Baldwin Road filtration plant that handles Lake George water. At the urging of state officials, Ticonderoga then began At Time Of Sale considering an upgrade of the entire water system, utilizing groundwater sources. Preliminary engineering studies have GOODYEAR • UNIROYAL • FIRESTONE • GENERAL TIRE identified five possible aquifers in Ticonderoga that could DUNLOP • MICHELIN • BRIDGESTONE • B.F.

Times of Ti Editorial
Pass it on and pay it forward this season L
ast year, a young woman drove 30 minutes in the dark to the nearest gas station to fill her
tank. She pulled into the parking lot with her gas light on and the engine sputtering. It was a pre-pay station, so she ran into the store to make her purchase when she realized at the counter she didn’t have her wallet. The store clerk couldn’t take a check and said there was nothing she could do to help. The young woman walked out to her car and stood there in the frigid cold, wondering what she was going to do with no money and no gas. At that point, her breath a white cloud of uncertainty, she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to find a short, jolly man holding out $25. “Let me help you,” he said. “I have a daughter your age and I would want someone to help her.” The young woman tried to write him a check, but he pushed it away, gave her a hug and said, “Have a wonderful day, sweetheart.” With the season of giving upon us, it is time to pass it on and pay it forward. Life keeps us busy, with jobs, families, chores and errands. Times are tough, and many people are barely getting by. That is why it is ever more important to pay attention to your neighbor and to the people you pass by, because you never know when you might be able to make a positive difference in someone’s life. Instead of wondering why the family down the street can’t seem to clear their sidewalk as you trudge through kneedeep snow, why not get out your own shovel and do it for them. For whatever reason, they may need the help. Or, when you’re done snowblowing your
driveway after a major storm, clear out a path to your elderly neighbors’ front doors so they can get out of their homes. There are many ways to help your fellow community members and not one of them has to be monetary. Now, if you’re in the financial position to help in that regard, by all means pass along a more generous tip to the single mom waiting your table or help the family of five in line ahead of you at the grocery pay for their items. You could also donate all or part of your bonus from work to a worthwhile charity. If you don’t get a bonus and money is tight, volunteering your time is the next best thing. It is just as helpful to offer to carry those groceries and pack them in their car. And knitting mittens and socks for a neighbor in need or chemotherapy hats for cancer patients makes a big difference. If times are truly tough, as we consistently read, hear and see, then what better time to pass on your good fortune or pay it forward to someone in need. Open a door; take a hot meal to a housebound senior; drop off a gift to a family in need; volunteer at the local soup kitchen or food pantry; invite a homeless family to Christmas dinner. You just might make someone’s heart smile when they truly need it the most. They, in turn, just might make someone else’s heart smile. And what better present can you give during the season of giving, especially, when times are tough.

Letters to the Editor
Publisher responds Editor’s note: This letter by Dan Alexander, Times of Ti publisher, is directed to Ron Jackson, Essex County Republican chairman. Ron, Thanks for the letter to the editor last week and thanks for the promotion to editor. I’m sure John, Andy, Fred and Keith will be surprised. Lighten up a little Ron. Remember “cartoons” are meant to poke fun. Last time around the beauty contest was on the Democratic side this time it befalls the Republicans. I’m not sure anyone other than the late night talk shows comedians and cartoonists enjoy this long drawn out process, so adding a little humor helps to keep things light. You are right I am a registered Republican, but if you read any of my commentaries you know that I am very disillusioned with the party system and prefer to think of myself as Independent, one capable of looking past the party spin and selecting the best person for the job. Locally, statewide and nationally, we need serious candidates to solve very serious problems. I see the both parties at fault for not helping America solve her problems and I think many American feel as I do. With party bias you can’t and won’t consider a nominee from the other side of the aisle regardless of their qualifications, nor will the parties work together to solve our problems because they are always too focus on the next election cycle getting their person in and making certain the other candidate is soundly defeated even if they’ve done a good job. Both parties have dug in their heels and refuse to cooperate when the other party is in power creating grid lock. As citizens we deserve better. As evidence of that fact, look at your last statement asking me to consider running for supervisor in 2013. Margaret Bartley hasn’t even taken office in Elizabethtown yet and you’re looking to have her removed. Let’s give her our support and hope she is the best supervisor this town has ever had, because if she is we all stand to benefit. Instead you and your counterparts will do everything possible to create unrest and that, my friend, is what’s wrong with our country today. Let’s fix what’s broken not break what we haven’t even taken out of the box yet, just because it’s not your box. Dan Alexander Publisher and taxpayer Elizabethtown
Sign decision regrettable To the Times of Ti: It has come to my attention that the (Inter-Lakes Health) hospital board has decided not to renew Scott Hearburg’s lease for the McDonald’s sign on Route 9N just before the monument. This is a truly regrettable move as it will not only hurt McDonald’s, one of Ticonderoga’s most successful businesses, but is also a slap in the face to one of this community’s most outstanding contributors. It seems unbelievable to me that as we struggle to revitalize our town, we cannot find a way to work with an individual who has always done his utmost to help this community both financially and through his tireless support. Scott’s efforts on our behalf are significant and numerous including his latest endeavor spearheading the fundraising and installation of the new playground at the middle (elementary) school. During these tough economic times, McDonald’s continues to be one of our largest employers. Why would we want to do anything to adversely affect this business? It sure seems like the hospital could use the annual lease income, too! Although the sign has been there for over 20 years, I have never paid much attention to it....I know where McDonald’s is located. But think of the countless visitors to
our town that enter from the south. Maybe Scott’s sign isn’t the most stylish based on our new standards, but can’t we give him a chance to improve on it before we throw him out? If you consider Scott to be a friend, he’s probably one of your best friends...that’s just the kind of guy he is. Since I am certain there are many of his friends in our community who may not be aware of the hospital board’s unfortunate decision, I would ask you to contact someone on the board and encourage them to be a little more flexible and give Scott a chance to deal with an obviously correctable sign issue. Rick Bartlett Ticonderoga
Republicans acted in ‘poor taste’ To the Times of Ti: After reading the letter from Essex County Republican Committee Chairman Ron Jackson complaining about the cartoon titled “Republican Science,” I couldn’t help but laugh to myself! Mr. Jackson thinks the cartoon was in poor taste and that the publication favors Democrats on the state and national scene! I have news for him, what is in poor taste is the way Republicans have treated the American people by their inaction to care for the needs of the middle class! First we have the Republican controlled Congress failing to vote on our debt limit and appointing a “Super Committee.” This committee was made up of hand picked politicians who stated from the start that they would not under any circumstances change their positions! It was doomed from the start! This was a good example of “Republican Science!” It was due to the “Pledge of Allegiance” given to Grover Norquist by the Republican Party! Never mind the pledge to our flag and to the people of the United States! Mr. Jackson in his letter complained about the state’s 2 percent property tax cap and how it limits the North Country’s ability to pay better salaries to those in high positions! I take this to mean he would like to see higher property taxes on those who live in the North Country while his party refuses to raise taxes on the wealthiest! Having it both ways is another example of “Republican Science” and it gets worse! Calling the cartoon a “cheap shot” attempt at humor was at the very least ludicrous! What was a “cheap shot” was the chiding of the publisher by saying “I know you are a registered Republican” and asking if he would be interested in taking on a supervisor’s job! As an avid reader of the Times of Ti and other North Country papers, I feel the publisher has been as non-partisan as one could be! There are times when I don’t agree with what I see published but thousands of Americans died so we could have a free press! Mr. Jackson should aim his anger over the cartoon at his party’s folly whether it is the debates or “Super Committees!” Gary P. Guido Ticonderoga

Letters give glimpse into Moriah’s past
T
he following are letters written by Ellen D. Witherbee Atwell in 1899 and 1900 to her nephew Tyler Reed Woodbridge of Victor, Colo. She was age 64 at that time. She tells of her family life, traditions, and some facts of history relating to the Witherbee family, handed down by her parents and grandparents, written at Port Henry. These letters were sent to me from Bill Knowlton of Liverpool in 2002. Ellen Atwell was his great aunt. Epilogue to Aunt Ell’s Letters by Milley Adams Witherbee Milliken-Oct. 1953, Granddaughter of Thomas & Milley Adams Weatherby” “Nearby, at the end of Lock Lane, he built a house for his mother and a little farther along a house for his sister Jane. Later on, he acquired and completed the large brick house in the village opposite the Citizens Bank, which his Uncle Silas had started. He also bought a farm about a mile west of the Village, the house reached by a winding lane bordered with beautiful maples. It was a modest house but very comfortable and homelike, with wide verandas and a wonderful setting of woods and lawns. I visited it recently and, in its present condition, denuded of verandas and lawns, it is a sad and depressing sight to one who knew it in former days. However, the beautiful trees are still there and the setting was gorgeous, with the bright October sun shining down through the brilliant Autumn-tinted leaves. The place is now occupied by a branch of the State Conservation Commission. Besides the little girl who died in 1850, John and Charlotte had two other children: Frank Spencer and Florence. They separated somewhere around 1868 or 1869 and he subsequently married Sophie Roe, a niece of Mrs. Silas H. Witherbee. They had one daughter, Mary, born in 1871. John died in 1875 at the age of fifty-four and was sincerely mourned and missed not only by his family but by the community as a whole for which he had done so much. He was laid to rest in the family plot in the Moriah Union Cemetery, known as the “Witherbee Circle”, which he had laid out for himself and his three sisters - Jan, Ellen and Emily - and his brother, Thomas Francis. Resting there also are his Father and Mother, his wife Sophie and their daughter Mary and four of his sisters - Jane, Mary Relief, Marietta and Ellen, as well as many other members of the family. Following his death, “Aunt Soph” and Mary, who was four years old, moved from the large house to “The Farm”, where they made their home thereafter, Frank Spencer occupying the large house and assuming the management of his father ’s business and estate until his death around 1919. He married Mary Rhinelander Stewart and they had two children - Stewart Rhinelander, who died at the age of twenty-two, and Evelyn, who married Charles Duncan Miller and had a son and a daughter, both of who have descendants. Florence married Dr. Edwin (or Edward) Peasley and had one son. Florence died several years ago. Mary married Wallace T. Foote, Jr. And died a few years later at the age of twenty-five. Jane Augusta married William Treadway and they had two daughters, Caroline and Mary (their son had died in 1850 at the age of two years.) Caroline married, first, Mosley Cadwell and had Jane and William, and second, Patrick F. Burke and had David and Anna. Mary married Theodore Tromblee and had Florence. Jane died in 1883 at the age of sixty-one. Henrietta Susan died in Crown Point in 1828 at the age of ten months. Sarah Marietta married Hiram Merrill, of Addison, Vermont, and died in 1853 at the age of twenty-four.” Joan Daby is town of Moriah historian.

Holiday Match program under way locally Local stores taking part SCHROON LAKE — Stewart’s Shops are teaming up with their customers and media partners for the 25th annual Holiday Match. Last year Stewart’s matched the customer ’s record donation of $640,000 for a total of $1.28 million. Since 1986 the Holiday Match program has donated almost $15 million to local children’s organizations. From Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Day, Stewart’s will match individual donations made to the Holiday
Match program in all 328 Stewart’s Shops in New York and vermont. “Every year our customers have increased their donations to help meet the growing needs of the children’s organizations in their communities, taking advantage of having their contributions matched,” said Stewart’s Foundation President Susan Dake. “In these challenging times we are trying to fill as many needs as possible. As the economy continues to struggle, we expect the number of applications to increase again this year.” All the money donated goes to charity; there are no administrative costs. The goal of Holiday Match is to encourage individual giv-
ing and broaden the base of support for local charities. Stewart’s Holiday Match is a 501c3 foundation; all donations are tax-deductible. Stewart’s accepts funds from groups or businesses, but only matches individual donations. Local children’s organizations can pick up an application throughout the holidays at any Stewart's Shop or online at stewartsshops.com. The deadline for submission is Jan. 31. All groups applying must be locally based, benefit children under 18 and be a qualified, charitable 501c3 organization. A brochure, listing all the organizations that received funds last season is available in all Stewart’s Shops.
Schroon Lake woman authors book of memories
Charley Hill Road history recounted SCHROON LAKE — A Schroon Lake woman has written a book about her life on Charley Hill Road. “From Wall Street to Charley Hill Road” has be penned by Joanne Treffs. The book details the author's memories of almost 75 years, entwined with the history of Charley Hill, a 5.6mile horseshoe-shaped road. The book also discusses settlers and their homesteads that were built over 200 years ago. The unraveling of some genealogies reveal relatives some present day residents. “You will be surprised at some very prominent visitors to this hill and the brief history of the Oscar Seagle Music Colony and its many students who achieved stardom,” Treffs said. The book contains more than 200 photos, making it an album of the past. “If you have ever traveled on Interstate 87 going north, you have driven under Charley Hill Road and its northerly end between exits 27 and 28,” Treffs said. “It’s truly a tribute to Schroon Lake history and a must have for your library.” “From Wall Street to Charley Hill Road” is available at most stores in the Schroon Lake area. Interested people can also contact the author at hilltopbook@aol.com or 532-7079.

ELIZABETHTOWN — The Essex County Board of Supervisors voted on a 2012 budget that eliminates 10 positions while raising the tax levy 10.54 percent. The board met for almost four hours Monday, Dec. 12, where they passed a budget after several attempts to restore the positions that were eliminated. “In my 20-plus years here, this has been by far the most difficult budget process,” Moriah Supervisor and budget liaison Thomas “Tom” Scozzafava said. “I have never been through a process where you take a vote on a budget then re-vote to go back and look at each detail.” Board Chairman Randall “Randy” Douglas said that he felt the board worked hard on the budget, even though he disagreed with the final numbers. “My colleagues put the time and the effort into this budget and represented their towns well,” Douglas said. “I disagree with this budget because I wanted to get in under the cap, but I do feel that it is now time for the state to come through with serious mandate relief.” “I don’t know if we are a whole lot different now than we were last year,” County Manager and Budget Officer Daniel Palmer said. “I am not sure that we will not be looking at the same thing next year, but we will deal with that when next year comes.” The 2012 Essex County budget calls for $16,276,443 to be raised by taxes, a 10.54 percent increase from 2011. The tax rate is expected to jump from $2.13 per $1,000 of assessed property value in 2011 to $2.44, an increase of 31 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. That means a homeowner with a home assessed at $100,000 will pay and additional $31 in taxes, while a homeowner with a home at the county average $156,000 would pay an additional $48.36 in taxes. The biggest sticking point to the budget discussions was the elimination of 10 positions that would call for layoffs out of 20.6 total job cuts. “I do not believe that we are in a dire situation that we should have to put people out on the street,” Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew said. “We have a tax rate here that we can be proud of, no matter what people say.” “I cannot support any increases when we are laying off employees and restoring funds to contract agencies,” Scozzafava said about the reinstatement of all contract agency funding with a 10 percent decrease (the library system only received a five-percent decrease). Some supervisors tried several different approaches to get the jobs put back into the budget, with each measure being defeated by a full board vote. “No matter what we do, we are going to be wrong in someone’s eyes,” Westport Supervisor Daniel Connell said. “But we have to do something, one way or another.” Some supervisors were upset with the repeated attempts to get the jobs placed back in the budget. “We have beat this to death,” Willsboro Supervisor Edward “Ed” Hatch. “We have decided how much will be cut an we should stay with that.”

Witherbee woman injured in Dec. 7 crash Police report State police closed a section of Route 73 for about an hour around daybreak Dec. 7 after a three-car accident just west of the Olympic Sports Complex at Mount Van Hoevenberg. The accident happened around 6:56 a.m. in heavy fog, according to state police at Troop B Headquarters in Ray Brook. It was still dark at the time.
Amy Armstrong, 40, of Witherbee, was transported to AMC in Lake Placid and complained about back and chest pain. Heading north toward Lake Placid in a Chevrolet Cobalt, she hit a Mercury station wagon in a head-on collision. The station wagon - driven by 60-year-old Gary Logan, of Massena - was stopped in the northbound lane. Logan, heading southbound toward Keene, had driven into the northbound lane
and then struck a Ford Ranger driven by 63year-old Bruce Harbart, of Lake Placid, who had pulled out of his driveway into the northbound lane toward Lake Placid. Police could not say whether Logan was trying to pass another vehicle when he drove into the oncoming lane prior to hitting Harbart’s vehicle. Logan and Harbart were uninjured in the accident. Logan was ticketed for failing to keep right. State police and members of the Lake Placid Volunteer Fire Department and Lake Placid Volunteer Ambulance Service were on the scene. Traffic between Lake Placid and Keene was being detoured through Wilmington and Jay on Routes 86 and 9N for about an hour.
Witherbee man arrested A Witherbee man faces a burglary charge in Ticonderoga. Scott M. Martin, 39, faces two felony charges of second-degree burglary and firstdegree criminal contempt. Martin allegedly broke into an ex-girlfriend’s home and got into a physical altercation there with another male. Ticonderoga police said he also broke an order of protection while doing so. Martin was arraigned in Ticonderoga Town Court and remanded to Essex County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash bail. He is due back in court Dec. 21.

and receive health insurance. Crown Point has approximately 1,800 parcels, so Maxwell will get about $18,000 a year along with health insurance costing about $6,000. Kosmider said the insurance costs could be reduced if Maxwell is also hired by another community. In that case the towns would split the cost of health insurance. The sole assessor will have office hours in Crown Point two days a week throughout the year with additional hours in the spring leading up to Grievance Day. State law mandates a sole assessor must spent a minimum of 384 hours a year in a municipality. Maxwell has a bachelor of science degree from Empire State College and a master in business administration from SUNYAlbany. He has been partnering with Mike Maxwell, owner of Maxwell Appraisal Service, on all revaluation projects since 2002. He recently completed a reval project in Broome County with 10,000 parcels. A debate on assessing led to a bitter election campaign in Crown Point this fall. Kosmider and DuShane were both defeated in re-election bids following a controversial decision to eliminate the town’s elected three-member board of assessors in favor of a sole, appointed assessor. In July, the Crown Point town board voted 3-2 to eliminate the elected assessors, effective Dec. 31. Kosmider joined with trustees DuShane and Patnode in voting for the change. Trustees Mazurowski and Walters opposed it. Supporters of a sole assessor claim the move will save the town about $18,000 a year, noting the change was recommended by the town budget reduction committee. Opponents feel the current assessors are doing a good job, that money can be saved in other areas of the budget and people have a right to elect assessors. The Crown Point town board’s decision to eliminate the elected assessors divided the community. Some support the assessors, others support the decision and still others believe the issue should have gone to a public referendum. Assessors Carl Ross, Stephen Mackay and Glen Porter opposed the move and organized supporters to defeat Kosmider and Dushane in their re-election bids. The assessors and their supporters backed Charles Harrington for supervisor along with Tara Peters and Mazurowski for town board. The Interested Taxpayers of Crown Point formed to support the assessor decision and to back Kosmider and Dushane in their re-election efforts.

Back to the future!
I
grew up in a one-car family. At the time, most families had only one car. My parents owned a Rambler station wagon, and it was a two-wheel drive vehicle. Jeep’s had four-wheel drive, but they were known as ‘Army jeeps’, nothing like the comfortable SUV jeeps of today. Snow tires, and chains were the only cold weather options, but most people simply slowed down, and they were more cautious. I guess they just weren’t in such a hurry all the time. We watched TV, even though there were only three channels, and most TV sets were black and white. We also listened to the radio often, but our stereo was reserved for special occasions. If we wanted to change channel, or turn up volume, we had to get out of the chair and turn a knob. Remote control devices hadn’t yet been invented. Oddly, people didn’t seem to mind getting out of the chair every once and a while. Kids were more fidgety then, they simply couldn’t sit still. There were always pickup ball games to attend, or rough and tumble games like Red Rover or Capture the Flag. On occasion, somebody would get hurt, with a skinned knee, or a fat lip, but nobody ever got sued. First aid, when applied with cookies, and ice cream, can cure everything! We also played with matches, ran with scissors, and went swimming immediately after eating, and nobody ever drowned. Even after living through such perilous times, I managed to survive childhood unscathed, with both eyes intact and a full set
of teeth. Back then, we were taught to respect our elders. If you were a smart-aleck, an adult could cuff you in the backside of your head, and no one could be accused of child abuse. We knew the Board of Education, was made of solid pine! Milk bottles were the only bottles we recycled. They had to be returned, or else the milkman wouldn’t know how many to replace, in the tin box on our front porch. Admittedly, times were different, back then. I was smaller, the world was larger, and communities were much closer. We knew everyone in ‘our neighborhood’, and it seems that everyone belonged to a neighborhood. Neighbors, and neighborhoods were an important component of growing up. In a fashion, as they watched you grow, they provided a sounding board with essential feedback, good or bad. You always knew where you stood, since sounding boards were made out of pine as well. Back then; the world seemed to turn at a much slower pace than it does today. The future always appeared to be bright. We were living in the ‘space age’, and we were on the cusp of realizing a better life. We were going to be as comfortable as George
December 17, 2011
Jetson, and his boy Leroy! The future was the place where we all wanted to be! I tend to wax nostalgic, whenever I am confronted with another piece of stressful information from the current day. It may be an effort to escape to a quieter, safer place, when our only major threat was being attacked by the Soviet Union. My most recent stress was delivered via a recent NY Times interview with Jerry Jenkins. Jenkins, who is on the staff of the Wildlife Conservation Association, in Saranac Lake, is an accomplished naturalist, climate scientist and a noted author. His publication, Climate Change in the Adirondacks: The Path to Sustainability provides a disturbing snapshot of what’s to come. His predictions for the climate impacts on the Adirondacks are disturbing. Unfortunately, we can’t prepare for them, by hiding under the desk or cowering in a hallway. Jenkins is an old friend; I trust him, and his science. Explaining the potential changes ahead, he recently told the NY Times, “Nothing we see here (in an Adirondack boreal bog) is found at temperatures 10 degrees warmer, and very little makes it to five degrees warmer. We will be in a climate that this (natural) community has never known in its history.” If the projections are accurate, the Adirondacks could see average temperatures rise by as much as nine degrees by the 2080s. As a result, the local woods and waters would have climate zone comparable to the mountains of North Carolina and Georgia. There would be no moose, no pine martin and no brook trout. The Adirondack landscape would be far different, and so would the natural inhabitants. Such information makes me wish
Predictions indicate that cold water species, such as brook trout and salmon, will be negatively impacted as t emperatures incr ease. C onversely, species such as largemouth bass will thrive in the warming waters of the Adirondacks.
there was still only one car in the driveway, and just three channels on the TV. At this point in time, I’d gladly trade all of the fancy four wheel drive vehicles, and the 500 channel networks, for just a few of snow-days that I enjoyed, during the long, cold winters of my youth. 2011: Ditto the remarkable remarks listed above.
